The story of an unusual career transition.
Why I Quit Tech and Became a Therapist --> Why I Quit Tech and Became a Therapist Glen Chiacchieri / January 2019 When I tell people that I have a background in engineering, programming, and user interface research but am now becoming a licensed psychotherapist, they're usually surprised. They often ask me how that transition happened. It was a difficult one, and I thought I'd write about it here on my website. I hope that this story may help others in similar situations. In 2013 I moved from Boston to San Francisco in order to work at a research lab called CDG (the precursor to Dynamicland ).
